Hi, can anyone tell me what is "other" taking up my space in my iPhone? How can I decrease it? Is it documents & data form my apps or what?
I also use to wonder what "other" was. I always thought it was cydia info and apps when I was jailbroken but i'm on a 4S now and "other" still reads 1.2GB

Exactly, I used to have an iPhone 3G as well and always thought it was the other Cydia partition. But this time, its an iPhone 4S and so far, no jailbreak for it. If music is the culprit, I will try to remove some album artwork and see how it goes. But seriously, very annoying to see over 1GB of "Other".
Did you restore from back-up?
Yes, I restored from iCloud backup. Is this the reason why my "Other" is taking up so much space?
voice memos?
emails with attachment(s)?
When you got it did you restore from a previous iphone from itunes? And if you did was that iPhone Jailbroken?

If you have a lot that can take up space.
Your "other" is really high. My wires was showing up like that but after a restore, it was back down to 380mb
I did some more testing about this "Other" taking up space. Seems like it has something to do with musics.
First I completely erased everything on my iPhone 4S, then restored from back up, with all my musics, apps, etc. The "Other" was taking up 0.3GB only. For some reason, without me doing anything on my iPhone, I synced again. That's when I noticed my "Other" increasing. It's mainly when iTunes syncs artwork and genius data. There does not seem to be other way of getting rid of this "Other". Even deleting all musics and syncing back again does not change the "Other. If anyone else have a better idea, please rely.
